NORTHERN FIRE WATER.
How the Alaska Indians Distill Villain
Gus Drink from Molasses.

How the Alaska Indians Distil Villain
Gus Drink from Molasses.
During a course of years, commenc-
ing with the Russian occupation of the
country, before the eession of the PROV
inces to the United States, and subse-
quent to that time, men of our country
found lucrative business in the sale
of sugar and molasses to the Alaska In
dams. From these two substances they
make drink which they call hooche-
moo, and it is just little worse than
the lowest grade of Hester street whis-
ky. In fact, it is almost pure alcohol,
slightly discolored. The Indians man
ufacture it for their own consumption,
and for the use of their friends, but il
is rarely sold by them to one another,
They make a sort of mash from mo-
lasses and dirty brown sugar. This
they put into large caldron over q
slow fire. Some of them have consid-
cradle mechanical ingenuity and they
make crude sort of a still out of tin.
The pieces are cut out for the worm,
one Indian holds them in place, while
another with a bar of solder and hot
iron fastens them together. They
patch on piece after piece until they
have completed rude sort of worm,
and then their still is ready. They UNI
derstand the process of the condensa-
ton of the vapor in the worm and know
how to get the distillation out of it.
Then they double and triple distill this
product, and in the end have a liquor
that you or | would not dare to drink,
unless we wanted at once to experience
all the horrors of delirium tremens.
The stuff is simply terrific in its power.
When the process of manufacture is
completed they store it away in bottles
for use. The hoochenoo is distilled
only in the most inaccessible parts of
Alaska, as the sale of large quantities
of sugar or molasses in the more thick
ly settled portions Of the country is
prohibited, and Indians who are known.
to possess quantities of either commod-
ity are closely watched. Brooklyn

TEMPERANCE ITEMS.

Count TOLsTOI, the distinguished
Russian author, under the title of
The Invention of Whisky" has
sounded an alarm against the devasta-
ton wrought by alcohol in that coun-
try.
THERE are eleven different specifics
on the market for the cure of inebri-
ETY., and over fifty different patent
methods of reform and cure; and still
the army of inebriates keep on I'M
diminished.-Jow1aaI of haebriety.
CAPTAIN J. w. CRAIG, master of
roadway and transportation for the
Charleston & Savannah railroad, and
president of the Roadmasters' Associa-
ton of America, recently expressed the
following sentiment: "The time is not
far distant when Temperance will be u
requirement of all grades of employees
in railway service. The demand of the
reform is growing greater each day"
In the United States there are 1869
breweries, which produce annually

Ions per head In Germany there are
49, $40 breweries, which produce an
nually 900,000,000 gallons, or over
twenty gallons per head. In Great

FERMENTED wine is indeed a mocker.
1t promises us strength, and mocks us
with weakness. 1t promises us SUBJ

promises us heat and mockS us with

us with premature death. 1t promises
us intelligence and wit, and covers us
with visions of happiness, and plunges
us into the depths of despair. Western

In Athens the severe laws of Draco
condemned to death any person con-
victed of being drunk. The wise laws
of Scion condemned an archont (thc

WE compare badly with England in
the use of strong drink. Our Internal
Revenue Bureau reports 100000 gal

less than our entire National debt In

895, 900 less than in 1884; and the de-
crease has gone on steadily for ten

MOTHERS COOKING.

italian, French and German cooks, and Yankee
ones, beside,
TO satisfy my appetite, alas, have vainly tried,
For all their skill and knowledge, backed by
lots Of money, too,
Can not produce such cooking as my mother
used to do.
Her pumpkins, mince and apple pies, two inches
thick at least,
Are still to me in memory sweet perpetual
feast
Her buildings, bread and biscuit, pure and
lighter than the snow,
dream about, but never eat, no matter where
Igo.
But of the many dainties that my mother used
to make
think her homemade crullers nearly always
took the cake.
Iyet can see her making them, her hands with
-four white,
While round her stood us children small,
a-watching with delight.
Beside the stove an earthen pot stood ready to
be crowned
With crullers in fantastic shapes and beauti-
fully Drowned;
But till four naughty boys we're filled, who
hooked EN- smoking hot,
Dear, patient mother toiled in vain to fill the
CFuL6F pOJ.
She'd make us each a cruller man, with legs
and arms and head,
Which we, like little cannibals, devoured up in
bed
And in the mornings early, while the rest were
fast asleep,
-Four little ghosts in nightgowns to the cruller
pot would creep.
Don't talk to me of cooking. There is none in
all the earth
That can compare with mothers. Now realize
its worth;
And quite often in my reveries her crullers
taste again.
And scramble with my brothers for those funny
cruller men.

er towns now have coffee-houses. Over
two hundred limited companies are
engaged in tle business in England,
paying all the way from five to ten
per cent. in dividends. Out of seven
ty-nine companies, six paid last year
over ten per cent. and thirty-six from
i've to nine per cent. One coffee-house
IN Birmingham has been in existence
Tor nine years, and up to the past two
years has paid ten per cent. divi-
sdends, and since then has paid an
extra bonus, of five per cent In addi-
ton, the employees have received a per-
centage of the profits besides their SAL
aries.
In London the coffee-house idea has
taken the form of the "cocoa-room,
managed under what is known as the
Lockhart system. In these cocoa-rooms
food and drink of excellent quality are
sold at prices which come within the
range of the poorest. They have be-
sides other ATTRACTIONS which the
cheap drinking houses do not have. A
correspondent of the Churchman, speak
ing of the Lockhart system, says that
in every neighborhood where these
cocoa-rooms have been established in
London the drinking saloons are doing
most Improbable business, and many
OF them have been compelled to close
their doors. The projectors Of the
system, it is added, make no profess
sions of philanthropic intentions, but
conduct the business on strictly
paying basis and solely for profit.
As to the general results of the coffee
and cocoa business on the drink traffic
in England, the fact is adduced that in
1885 the revenue from alcohol in Eli
gland was Il, 179, 900 less than in 1854,
and that after making allowance for
the increase in population, the revenue
from alcohol has decreased about 9S,-
$4,000 in the past ten years. There
can be no doubt that this reduction of
revenue, as well as the marked de-
crease in intoxicatiOn observable in
HhS l''hu' 10 pdIIly o"lnS 10 the IhlIO-
duction of the cOffee-houses. After
making allowance for the altered con-
ditions of society in this country, there
is no reason to believe that the system
once established here on a thoroughly
practical basis would not be as success
full as in England. There can be 10
question that the need is as great.-N

Desperate attempts are being made
to train young citizens of African de-
scent for service as pages. Clothed in
gay liveries, with crests or initials on
the large buttons, the little darkys are
expected to follow their mistresses
when they go shopping, or to pay calls,
and on reception days they are to stand
at the door with a silver waiter for tbs
reception of cards. It is very hard,
however, to discipline them, and on
one or two occasions they have made
statements to visitors which have pro-
duced deal of trouble, especially at
the house of Brigadier- General,
where the visitor was told, after wait
ing some time: II can't find missus,
though she was here just now, but I
guess she must have seen you coming,

Management of Bulls.

A young bull should be kept under
the strictest restraint. Such an ami
NAL is never safe unless kept in COM
plete subsection. A regular use of a
rawhide-on principle-and not mere
ly as punishment for i'll conduct is the
only safeguard, so as to keep the ami
NAL always in dread of its owner. Con-
slant work is another mode of disci-
plining bull, and not only keeps him
orderly but in good useful condition
for service. Only moderately robust
condition is necessary; leanness is bet
ter than fat, which soon destroys the
breeding value. A ring should be put
in the bulls nose when it is three
months old, and it should be handled
at all times with the greatest caution,
and at no time should it be played with
or petted. Even in play bull is a ia
tally dangerous animal, and as bad as
when in anger.-N. 7. Times.

Notes and Comments on the Present and
Coming Styles of Dress
''Neapolitan violet is d new and
lovely tint.
Faille franchise has plush figures
with lace effects.
New pushes, with stiff pile, initiate
the skins of animals.
Ivory white velvet for evening
dresses has tinted floral designs.
Very broad MORE ribbon, with ''fan"
picot edges, is the favorite for sashes.
Dress or bodice lacers were a novelty
last season, and will be more largely
used for spring.
Milan-looped drops and drop trim
mings, also last falls goods, are reor-
dered largely for the new colors.
Satin and plush stripes, with scroll
designs in frise plush in seal brown,
are used for outside garments.
The newest expensive material for
wedding robes is a white velvet bro
caded Bengalide or faille franchise.
An effective style of plush has stripes
of Oriental coloring and design. Plush
grounds have raised plush stripes.
Satin duchesse, in all the evening
colors, has floral stripes, with tinsel eff
fects. These designs are also found in
faille franchise.
Astrakhan in plain plush, in gray
on black and two tones of brown, has
sheeny, soft effect, the light toned
plush being in high relief.
Faille franchise in all the new colors,
serpent blue, golden brown, heliotrope
and mouse green, has floral designs in
darker tones.
The picot ribbons are losing favor
somewhat, as tickle fashion is trans
ferring her affe etions to ribbons with
cord loops on the edges, especially
velvet.
Block effects in satin and MORE az
tique are in combinations, serpent blue
and brown being exceedingly fine. Tbs
satin blocks occur alternately, the
ground being MORE antique.
Plush ribbons of solid color on one
side are striped on the other. MORE
and gros grains are the favorite styles,
and novelties in scalloped and tasseled
edge will become popular.
Heliotrope in every possible tone is
the leading color. The large wholesale
houses report that from every city,
town and hamlet the demand for this
color is beyond that for any other.
The preference is still for a made
bow of velvet in place of tied strings
for bonnets. 1t is now worn slightly
larger and wider. For tied bonnet
strings, two sets of ribbons an inch
wide. velvet and faille, are used

a Deadly Reptile.

Who does not dread the rattlesnake
or copperheadP An unexpected sight
of either Of them will convey a shudder
to the bravest. But there is a species
of worm found in various parts of our
country which conveys a poison of so
deadly nature, that compared with IL,
even the venom of the rattlesnake is
harmless. This worm is of dull lead
color. and varies much in size; it's
length can hardly be conjectured for it
is rarely seen except when cOiled 1t
generally lives near spring or small
stream of water, and, without warning,
bites the unfortunate person who goes
there to drink. The brute creation it
never molests. They avoid it with the
same instinct that teaches the animals
of India to shun the deadly cobra
The symptoms of its bite are terrible.
The eyes of the victim become red and
fiery, his tongue swells to an immoder-
ate size; delirium of the most horrid
character quickly follows; he loses his
reason, and sometimes in his madness
attempts the destruction of his nearest
friends. In word, he exhibits, to the
life, all the detestable passions that
rankle in the bosom Of a savage. His
senses are SO destroyed by the venom
in his system, that no sooner has the
unfortunate patient recovered from the
proxysm of insanity caused by the bite,
than he seeks out the destroyer to be
bitten again.
l have seen a good old father, his
locks as white as snow, his step slow
and feeble, beg of his only son TO evade
the lurking place of this reptile, but in
vain. The poison in his blood made
him a slave, and his future is foretold.
Youth of America. would you like to
know the name OF this foe? It's the
worm of the still. Henry B. Steinert,
